An English man of letters has conceived
the brilliant idea of obtaining an account of
the customs and life of the English people
since the publication Of newspapers began,
by study of the advertisements. To him
who thinks Of it there is a long story Of hui
man life and nature On the pages that give
their largest type to the circuses and theatres
and the stories of phenominally cheap bar
gains in finery and jewels, while the smaller
letters tell the misery of the housewife who
wants "a girl for general Homework who I'M
derstands cooking" or the troubles of the
man who posts" his wife and warns the
public that he win pay no bills of her con-

WASHINGTON, Sept. I4-As to the mat
ter Of Department clerks going home to
vote which is exciting much interest in
Department circles in connection with
the fall elections, there has been on order
issued recently. The order does not
take from the clerks the right of franchise
as it has been stated, on the contrary it Is
rather more liberal than the rules
in force heretofore. Tie old
custom of permitting short
leave in election time IN addition to
the regular thirty days has not been in
practice at ell under this administration.
Clerks have been permitted full liberty to
go home TO vote when the public business
would otsuffer from their absence, wi h
out regard TO their party proclivities, but
the time thus consumed was charged
against them. During the last congress
sional elections Dug few clerks were will
ing to devote any of their leave to the
purpose of the polls, and the probability
Is that they will not forfeit few days
pay with any more enthusiasm.

DICK SWITZERLAND CONVICTED.
His Crime Looked Upon az Cold Blooded
Murder at Fort Smith.
Special to the Gazette.

special 10 the 6SZGLIe.
FORT SMITH, ARM, Sept. l4.-Dick
Southerland was convicted in the United
States court to-day for the murder of
Jacob Burris. The murder took place in
the Cherokee nation near Fort Gibson in
August, 1885. Burris was living on
land rented from Switzerland and had
sold load or two of corn from the land
without consulting Switzerland. This
aroused Southerland's ire, and on the
evening before the murder the men
had quarrel over sthe
matter during which Switzerland cursed
Burris and ordered him to keep out OF
the field. The morning after the quarrel
Switzerland went to the field where
Burris was at work, but before going
there went to a neighbours and inquired
whether his victim had been to the field,
saying that if he was there he intended
to kill him. On being informed
that Burris was in the field he went to
where he was st work and shot him down.
Switzerland then went on scout. After
being gone some time he came in and
surrendered himself and on his examina-
ton before United States Commissioner
he was discharged on his own testimony
and that OF a man named Woods who was
the only eyewitness of tde murder. But
things did not appear altogether right to
the prosecuting attorney OF the District
court, so Switzerland was again ar
rested and on his trial facts were
developed that proved the
testimony OF both men false. Woods
at one time after the killing talked pretty
freely Of the affair to his neighbors, tell
ing how it was done, and telling 1t in
such g way as to make the ef.ir down
right murder. Ga examination before
the Commissioner he told 81 entirely diff
ferent tale. This aroused suspicion, and
investigation proved he had been brihsd
to perjure himself by Switzerland. This
was proved by d host of respectable witt

NEW YIN ItoLs
Amid all the excitement Q CCasIoned by
the recent boom in Wall street resulting
from the supposed successful closing of
the Baltimore and Ohio deal, the genera
. lbAc- and many of the brokers Themselves
nave forgotten all about the wonderful
com nittee OF dullness thst WAS recently
appointed by the governors of the Stock
EXChsuge. This committee, which re-
farred TO in previous letter, WAS in
structed to ascertain the cause of the
unusual lack of business n the street and
10 remedy the fault Immediately. In
other words, il was to do what the
energy and ingenuity of all the oldest
snd most experienced brokers in the
trade had failed to dot was
10 make stock brokerage profitable.
Innumerable were the suggestions offer
ed 10 this committee, and wise, some of
them; but sll combined did not answer
the question asked by every one; How
an to pay Office rent and live? But sud-
denly, while the committee is celebrating
and discussing, there came s real old
fashioned money making desl, end the
problem was at an end for the time be-
ing. The market doomed, and in the
noise .aud confusion the dizziness COM
mittee was forgotten by all but its stupid
self, But, notwithstanding the commit
tteG made its report, and showed that not
o member OF it had an idea, or if he did,
| he lacked the courage TO carry it out. The
| committee recommended following the
plan Of the London Exchange in regard TO
fortnightly settling day. In other
words, SPECTATORS who are on the losing
! side will have two weeks IN which to
| hope snd scheme for change OF luck,
and will not be compelled to settle up
Immediately in case the market slumps
on them. Another thing, snd the best
one which the committee suggested, was
q reduction of commission charges from
to 1-1G of per cent. That is going to
create pretty big difference in specula-
tors accounts at the expiration OF each
year. Very few of the persistent ones
operate on less than 1000 shares of stock
st time, and when they have to pay
Sl25 commission each way the specula
n ton comes rather high and 1t requires 6
pretty active market to clear profit.
Its the third conclusion arrived st b!
this committee that has knocked into
cooked hat all the absurd old conserva
sssm.of the New York Stock Exchange

recommending that members be allowed
to pay commissions to agents bringing

While he had no means OF knowing lust
what the protsctionist element would do,
he presumed from Whist he had heard and
read that il would insist upon the

mands that prompt action shall be taken
